Will these work or not

[toots]

I have a stack of these batteries, need to know if they will work on the new Kanger Subox Mini: www.fasttech.com/p/1141105

Kanger website states batteries have to be 20A or above - I have no idea what Amp these ones are

[charliehorse]

Don't think they are going to be suitable toots
Steam engine presets lists the max current at 6.2 amps

[monty]

Sadly not. I have some and they struggle to put out 10 Watts. If you have moved to higher Watts consider a dual 18650 mod to get use out of these. Keep an eye on the Shopping in China subforum and you may find a Vapor Flask for around 25 quid.

[blakey]

They are 10amp batteries, they will only be fine if you're not going to be using the full power range of the sub box.
If you're going to be doing a lot of sub ohm vaping then you really shouldn't be skimping on batteries

toots, get a pair of Samsung 25R's I think FT do them and as far as I have seen their genuine.

Cheers guys I thought as much I got 8 of these things  never mind.

Just ordered myself 4 of these ones now: Efest Batteries direct from UK Bright Ideas Ltd instead of going through Amazon. Had to make sure I could get them delivered to Tenerife so we did a private sale instead of an Amazon one - only had to pay £4 delivery charge

Yeah, I saw those on FT, but I'd have to wait weeks to get them by boat so decided to go the more expensive route and get them from the UK instead.

At least I'll have these ready and waiting for when my new kanger toy arrives.

That's great toots, batteries are the one thing we cannot skimp on as it's our own safety that's at risk with some of the dodgy batteries out there.

Cheers

Oh Gawd, I've just read through the battery threads on this forum and see that the efest ones I've ordered today are not the right ones to go with

So, for my new Kanger Subox can anyone tell me if these would be acceptable: Xtar 18650 2200mAh FLAT TOP 3.7v Li-ion IMR HIGH DRAIN 25amp maximum continuous discharge rate batteries found on Amazon here

If so, I will try and change my order to these ones instead, hopefully before they send out the efest ones tomorrow

Ripshod or VapingBad - I think you 2 especially might know seeing as I was on your battery thread and read about the efest ones being re-wraps 'n all

What makes you think they are wrong?

They will provide enough current, is it that they are flat tops?

I use these in my Smowell 50 DPV 50 watt MOD.




ETA the Subox is OK with flat tops, so by my reckoning they should be fine, there are probably better batteries out there but I don't think there's a risk in using these.

I think they're wrong because of this thread DiscoDes allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/54599/battery-power-list-work-thread

You can see the efest ones I ordered are in red text on the list.

[lairey]

The ones you have ordered will be fine toots

The reason they are red on the list is that they state they are 35amp when they should state 20amp. 35 is the pulse rating, 20 is the continuous rating. They overstate basically, so are frowned upon (and rightly so). However, you only need 20amp batteries for the Kbox, so no worries at all

Couldn't have put it better myself, toots if you have time to cancel and can wait a couple of weeks the Samsung 25R are just £6.50 a pair on FT (get 3 or 5 pairs and the price lowers more) and one of the best 18650's available ATM.  FT are airmailing batteries again now.

lairey I was panicking after reading that thread on batteries, thinking oh no, I've gone and ordered the wrong ones

I can rest easy now, thank gawd for that

I'd already paid the guy in the UK today for these efest ones and they'll take around a week to arrive here. I put the Samsung 25R's already in my FT wish list and will be ordering those a bit later. Will need to know if I get on with the Subox kit before I start ordering any more batteries and gather up an arsenal of 18650's
